But the one I use has one, and it's a feature that *all* MUAs *should* have.

There is. The List-Post header field. List-Post, List-Id, List-Unsubscribe
etc. are standard fields. They tell the MUA that the message at hand is a
mailing list message (and Precedence: list, but that one doesn't say *which*
list).

You're wrong. My public key is available from the standard keyserver network.
wwwkeys.*.pgp.net, pgp.mit.edu, search.keyserver.net, and other servers that
exchange keys with them. And it's signed by several people too.
